Profitable Meeting at Asbury Park of
National Educational Association
Board Meets Aug. 8.
Supt. II. B. Hayden returned yester
day afternoon from Asbury Park, N. J.
where he attended the convention ot
the National Educational association.
He reports a very successful meeting,
there being several thousand who reg
istered during the week the convention
took place. July -7. Many famous ed
ucational men spoke before the meet
ings and the final address was made
by President Roosevelt, his subject ze
ing ' Brother Citizenship."
pelal Train.
Mr. Hayden left here in the first
art of the month on a special car for
Chicago with 32 tri-city people. At
Chicago the coach formed one of a
train of seven such special cars taken
from various points in the north and
west, which ran fin a special schedule
from there to Asbury Park- The train
went over the Grand Trunk line as far
as Niagara Falls, in charge of the
traveling passenger agent, Mr. Bryant,
of the Grand Trunk, and from that
place to the destination over the Le
high Valley road.
' Tlm for Scenery.
Time was allowed to visit places ol
interest along the route. Principal ot
these was the Niagara Falls, where the
party went on a special chartered cai
- do f;'ioiiH trip through the gorge.
Mauch Chunk, in Pennsylvania, was
a. so one of the stop-over points. There
a ride was taken on the interesting
switchback railway through the Alle
gheny mountains. The cars on th
iailway are pulled up a steep incline on
the side of a l,5(i-foot mountain and
ihen run by gravity down a winding
loute for several miles past the preci
pices and ravines, the scenery being
beautiful along the entire route. After
the car reaches the valley from the
first incline another mountain is as
cended and the car winds back along
an equally interesting route to its
destination, which is the point of its
start.
Hoard Meet Au jr. S.
After conclusion of the convention
Supt Hayden. visited relatives in .Mas
sachusetts. He was in Bis office at the
high, school building again this morn
ing and is ready to give his attention
to school affairs. He reports the next
